I may vote for Bernie. Wait, What??
Virginia Elections ^ | 2/21/202 | Central VA

Posted on 02/21/2020 9:10:56 AM PST by central_va

Trump is clearly going to win on Tuesday so would it be smart for me to vote in the Democrat Primary? How about I vote for Bernie? Feel the Bern? Who would be Trump's most beatable opponent?

Biden is most likely to increase black turnout and win working class white voters that have gone to Trump.

That's called "conventional wisdom" ... but for now it should be considered a myth because Biden has been downright awful to date among all kinds of Democratic voters.

Brokered convention with St. Hillary the Divine sweeping in on her broom and stealing the nomination from Bernie.

The original operation chaos was to vote for Hillary, Obama had already come out of nowhere to win Iowa. Nice try though.

I honestly think Bernie would have won in 2016 if he had been the Democratic nominee.

Of all the Democratic candidates, Sanders is the one who can make some serious inroads among Trump's supporters in Rust Belt states. They are both nationalists running on the same general issues -- with different solutions, of course.

This is another similar thread from where I had posted about VA https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3818317/posts

I too am thinking I will let the democrats screw the pooch on their own, (lest I be accused of being a Russian meddler) as they are perfectly capable of ruining anything.

Write in Donald J. Trump... Just so they have to count them and feel demoralized.

I think the Dems know that Trump is unbeatable. That's why they tried a coup, which was their only hope.

Ergo, they will offer up Bernie and take the landslide, which will end his quest for the presidency and they will finally be rid of him.

They're looking forward to 2024.

Bernie by a wide margin. If that old commie gets the nomination even sane demonrats will vote for Trump.

If it’s conventional, how come no one is saying it. Iowa and New Hampshire came first, but they aren’t the only state.

Cast your vote based on the 15% rule.

Exactly— at least if your state has a primary now through Super Tuesday. After we have time to review the results, the strategy can be revised in light of delegate count.

The only problem is that when you vote in the presidential primary, you have to ask for a Republican or Democrat ballot. That means they’ve essentially ID’d you.

The last thing I want is to get on any kind of mailing or phone list of the Democrat party.
************************************************

Let them waste money on you mailing you stuff. Lead them on when they call.

Cheshire use a < hr > ( no spaces of course ) for a division. ************ is a little cumbersome.

I agree. Biden is the pick.

Look at it this way...you would be making them waste time and money.

Some joker (friend, family member, ???) must have just registered me as a democrat. About 25 pieces of rat mailing this week.

My wife said what are you going to with these mailings.

My reply, “Toss them into the brown recycle container by our back door after I walk 30 steps from our mailbox before I come back inside.”

My wife did that yesterday with about 8 mailers. She enjoyed it.

Very foolish. Bernie will probably win anyway, but if he wins with a lot of votes, he’ll be the nominee and all the Dems, including the most radical leftists among them, will group behind him. And then I suspect he does have a good chance of beating Trump, because Democrats are not rational and a preference for flat-out, full-on socialism is growing among them. And with Bloomberg’s money (he has agreed to fund whoever is the winner), they will buy all the votes they need.

Stay out of Dem politics and just focus on getting Trump reelected.

I honestly think Sanders is the most formidable opponent for Donald Trump.

I think you're right; corporate globalists have made capitalism a dirty word and paved the way for an avowed socialist.
